Why don't fat men (some of whom are genetically predisposed to increased fat in the breast area than other areas) wear them, even though they are potentially subject to similar back pain etc as women?

Why don't obese men wear sports bras when running/walking/whatever?

To discount the 'traditional' component seems odd, since it's clear from the responses here that there is, indeed, that 'presumption' and that it's far beyond "you don't need one" - he's been called gay, dude. That's not "you don't need support!"

They don't wear sports bras because they don't walk or run

I can understand a fat guy with bigger boobs than me wearing a sports bra or the good old dependable Playtex 18 Hour bra for comfort's sake. A lot of them probably do. That's a lot different than going to Victoria's Secret and getting a pink lacy concoction. As some of the better endowed women on here have mentioned, Vicky's isn't exactly the best for larger sizes. Someone with a male back with backfat on it would have issues getting one to fit.

Our OP here JUST LIKES WEARING BRAS.
